409 Incidents

The smell of gunpowder smoke was in the air in Berlin, the rise of the Social Democrats had not eased the situation, the radical working class did not like the rightists, and the German ultra-democrats and Junckers did not like the traitors who had betrayed His Majesty the Emperor. Especially when the conditions of the Entente were in front of the Germans, it was like a bolt from the blue. So both the left and the right want Albert to get out, and an even bigger shock is brewing.

"It is already clear that Albert has betrayed the proletariat, he is ready to surrender to imperialism and betray the working class to the enemy!" Liebknecht waved his fist and shouted angrily: "We must carry out a more thorough revolution, and only by establishing a Soviet republic under the dictatorship of the proletariat will Germany have a future!" ”

The KPD delegates in the audience nodded their heads in response, but Luxemburg didn't say a word, and Zetkin, who was sitting next to her, whispered in his ear: "Rosa, why do you look sullen?" ”

Luxemburg sighed and said, "I don't know if it is appropriate to continue the revolution, and according to the classical theory of Marxism, the Provisional Government of Albert is not unacceptable. Is it presumptuous or radical to continue the revolution? ”

Zetkin was stunned, she still knew a lot about the thoughts of this revolutionary eagle comrade, Albert still had a great influence on her, and she naturally resented violence. There was a heated argument with Lenin about this.

However, it is understandable, but this does not mean that Zetkin agrees with Luxembourg's opinion, it is true that it is acceptable for the Albert Provisional Government to come to power, but from the perspective of the overall situation of the world. The upsurge of the proletarian revolution has come. Solve all problems at once. Isn't it good?

"I know it's good." Luxembourg sighed, "I'm just...... It is only feared that overly radical revolutionary measures will harm the masses. ”

While Zetkin was whispering in Luxembourg, Liebknecht received a small note, and after glancing at it, his face changed. Having given the voice to the others, he went to Luxembourg and Zetkin.

"Suddenly," said Liebknecht, in a low voice, "part of the main forces of the High Seas Fleet suddenly sailed out of Wilhelmshaven. Docked at Danzig late last night! ”

Zetkin didn't react to this news yet, but Luxemburg knew that a certain immortal had instigated them to launch a second sailor uprising, which was very similar to someone's method!

"It's Andrey. Comrade Petrovich ......"

Luxemburg was only halfway through speaking, Liebknecht intercepted her, shook his head slightly, and said: "For the time being, I don't know who led this operation, and I don't know what this operation is aimed at?" So, Comrade Luxembourg, I would like you to go to Comrade Radek and Comrade Yue Fei at once and find out if this is the Russian comrades who are carrying out the operation! ”

When Liebknecht said this. The tone is definitely not good, although the Comintern has always claimed to be the proletarians of the whole world united. But although communism has no borders, communists have nationality.

As a German, Liebknecht took an internationalist stance at the outbreak of the First World War and opposed the participation of the proletariat in the imperialist war for the sharing of spoils, but this did not mean that he would ignore the damage to Germany's national interests.

Although the High Seas Fleet is a tool for Germany to carry out imperialist hegemony, it belongs to Germany after all, and it is the blood and sweat of the German people. If the Russian comrades quietly stole this fleet, this is an absolute offense!

Even, at the thought that the Russian comrades might be operating in the name of the German Communist Party, Liebknecht was furious, and he deceived people too much! Fortunately, he has not completely lost his mind at this moment, and when he has not figured out who is in charge of this incident, he is not cheap and blindly condemns.

Luxemburg was not much happier than Liebknecht, and although she was not a pure German, that did not mean that she would ignore the damage to German interests. Soon she found Raddic and questioned her.

"High Seas Fleet?" Raddick didn't know about this at all, and he didn't believe that someone could really pull out a tooth, so he asked inexplicably: "Comrade Luxembourg, who sued you Andrew. Comrade Petrovich dominated this qiΔ“? I haven't heard from that at all. Neither the Comintern nor the Central Committee of the Russian Bolsheviks would have had a similar plan, it was more like a despicable planting by the enemy! ”

Luxemburg nodded and said, "We're not accusing anything?" We are also only skeptical, after all, Andrey. Comrade Petrovich previously proposed a similar plan to us. And now it's happening, so we have to ask. ”

Radek sighed in his heart, thought for a moment and said: "I can only assure you that as a fraternal party of the proletariat, our common goal is the overthrow of imperialism and capitalism, and we will not do anything that hurts the feelings of the German comrades. ”

Luxembourg breathed a sigh of relief at Radek's remark, and she smiled: "That's the best, but out of necessity, can you contact Comrade Andre on your behalf, can you make a formal statement?" ”

"This ......" Raddic really wanted to refuse, but judging from Luxemburg's expression, this revolutionary eagle was definitely real, and if he didn't agree......

"In this case, I'll contact Comrade Andrei first." Raddic didn't dare to say anything, he didn't want to help someone carry the blame, "After I have a definite conclusion, I'll explain it to you, how about it?" ”

Luxembourg didn't dare to push too hard, and there was no need to push too hard, after all, everyone was gay, and there was no need to tear your face. Of course, she also saw that Radek did not seem to have confidence, and it seemed that she was not sure whether the young Comrade Andrei had done it or not.

"Comrade Radek is not sure either?"

Liebknecht was astonished that Radek was also a member of the Central Committee, a confidant of Trotsky, and a man sent by the Comintern and the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs of Russia to assist in the development of the German revolution. Supposedly, he should be the one who can call the shots and make decisions. Hear the meaning of Luxembourg. This one doesn't even have the right to dominate?

"I had heard before that there was a heated debate among the Russian Bolsheviks. I wasn't convinced at first. Luxemburg exclaimed, "But today, judging from Comrade Radek's appearance, I am afraid it is true!" Russian ......"

"True or not, this is a matter for the Russian comrades." Liebknecht hastened him, and he had heard of the controversy between the Trotskyists and the Leninists, but he did not want to interfere in the internal affairs of the Russian Communist Party at all, especially at this sensitive moment, and it was not appropriate to say anything.

Liebknecht said: "Our task now is. How to deal with the impact of the 'mutiny' of some of the main forces of the High Seas Fleet. ”

Does it have an impact? Obviously, there is, the High Seas Fleet is an unavoidable factor in the armistice negotiations, and the Entente Group cannot rest assured that the High Seas Fleet will not be disarmed, and now that the main force of the High Seas Fleet has run away, the Entente Group can completely doubt whether this is a trick played by the Albert Government.

As soon as the Entente group thinks that this is a trick, then the armistice negotiations will definitely fail, and for Germany now, whether it is left or right. Even Wilhelm II himself, who had already abdicated, knew very well that he could not fight. There must be a truce.

If there is no stop, Germany will probably be ruined. Who wants to see their country ruined?

Liebknecht was unwilling, and neither was Albert, for the Provisional Government of Albert, who had just come to power and was ready to clean up the mess, the high seas fleet went wrong, and it was almost fatal.

"These traitors must be brought to justice by means and methods, and the stolen ships must be recaptured." Albert was literally ranting, "It must be quick, the Entente has not much time left for us!" ”

It is true that the Entente group is not at all easy to speak, the conditions are quite hard, the tone is quite bad, and there is no room for negotiation at all. If the High Seas Fleet is not disarmed on time and taken into Scarpa Bay, then continue to talk with cannons and bayonets!

But how to solve this problem, Albert really can't do anything, even if his tone just now is so unquestionable, but in fact, everyone knows that this hole is not easy to fill.

The solution is nothing more than two, either to fool by gentle means, or to suppress it by force. Huairou means have been used before, people don't like you at all, the proposed conditions are absolutely impossible for the provisional government to agree, as for the use of force to suppress, the "mutiny" is the absolute main force and elite of the high seas fleet, and it is difficult to say whether the remaining ships can beat the other side. And the most critical point is, are the remaining ships of the High Seas Fleet reliable and do they obey the command?

For this problem, no one can guarantee that the ships that escaped in front of them did not chase back, and a new batch ran away, which is a lot of fun. Therefore, for the Albert government, it is useless to use the soft one, and the hard one cannot be hard, and it is simply helpless!

Just when he was at a loss, the secretary outside the door broke in: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Special Representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Russia Ludwig. Mr. Schiller has asked to meet you! ”

Albert frowned, and subconsciously wanted to say that it was time to burn his eyebrows, and he didn't have time to care about the Russians.

"Mr. Schiller says there is something of particular importance that needs to be urgently met with you!" The secretary hastened to add.

Albert sighed and reluctantly said goodbye to the conference room, he had a prejudice against the special representative in Russia, who had played a very negative role in the previous negotiations with Russia, and led the Russians to take advantage of it.

At that time, Albert, who was still in the Congress, criticized this Mr. Schiller and scolded him more than once as a traitor. According to Albert's previous plan, the most important item in the negotiations with the Entente was to immediately sever diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia.

If Li Xiaofeng had been in Albert's office at this time, he would have found that the so-called Mr. Schiller was his old acquaintance Akimovich, an old friend who had betrayed him to the British, who was walking around anxiously at this time, with an expression that the sky was about to fall.

"Mr. Schiller, what is the matter with you coming to me in a hurry? If it is about foreign affairs with Russia, the Cabinet's strategy in this regard is established and resolute. Albert got straight to the point as soon as he came up, and he was ready to dispel all illusions of a "traitor".

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I am not here to discuss with you the issue of relations with Russia." Akimovich said anxiously.

Albert interjected coldly, "Then what else can you say?" ”

Akimovich also knew that the new prime minister did not like him very well and had prejudices about his work, but he really wanted to shout: "I would have set my heart on the bright moon." But the bright moon shines on the ditch! ”

Truly. Akimovich was a red heart that served the interests of Germany. The so-called "taking care" of the Russians and the so-called "traitor" were all forced to do so, or to say that they were forced by some immortal. He is already enough to endure humiliation, and it doesn't matter if people outside don't understand, and a politician like you thinks so, it's too hurtful.

Akimovich held back his anger and said: "Your Excellency, no matter what you think of my actions on the Russian question, I can assure you that I will always serve the interests of Germany. ”

"Humph!" Albert made his mark with a cold snort. Akimovich was so angry, he said in his heart: "You are a mallet, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's inability to reveal his identity, he would crush you to death in minutes." ”

For the sake of Germany, Akimovich still chose to be patient, he took out a newspaper and placed it in front of Albert. The arrogant Prime Minister just glanced at him and said indifferently: "I don't know Russian!" ”

Akimovich really wanted to vomit blood, Nima, there is no problem if you can't read Russian. The problem is, you can always see the photos on the front page, right?

"It says that Yudenich has been arrested and brought to justice, and he will be tried in public soon!" Akimovich replied with a swallowed breath.

Albert snorted again. Rhetorical question: "This is a matter of the Russians, what does it have to do with us?" ”

"Of course it does." Akimovich took out a few more newspapers and said in a hurry: "Five days ago, Yudenich was still openly active in Warsaw! ”

Albert still didn't understand what Akimovich wanted to say, and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't deny the circle!" ”

Nima! Akimovich complained in his heart, do you really don't understand or fake don't understand, just this little bit of political sensitivity, how did you come to power?

However, for the sake of German interests, he endured it, and explained in 1510: "As far as I know, this infantry general was kidnapped in his apartment in Warsaw. The kidnapping was probably planned by the newly established Russian spy agency, the GPU. ”

Albert still looked at Akimovich quietly, not at all interjecting, or at least interested. This expression made Akimovich itch his teeth with hatred.

"And the leader of the GPU," Akimovich said, pulling out a photo of Li Xiaofeng and placing it in front of Albert: "It is this Andrei. Petrovich. From March 1917 onwards, he rose to prominence and rose through the ranks of the Bolsheviks. At the Eighth National Congress of the Russian Communist Party just past, he was less than 20 years old and had become an alternate member of the Central Committee! ”

Albert finally lost patience: "Mr. Schiller, can you get to the point, what does this qiΔ“ you said have to do with our country?" My time is precious, and if you continue to talk nonsense, I can only let you leave immediately! ”

Akimovich also lost his patience, rushed to Albert with an arrow, and roared: "The point is that this person is quite dangerous, he has single-handedly forced us to make heavy concessions in the Brister contract, once released the virus to make the Entente bloc anxious, once sold us anti-virus drugs at a high price that we have not been able to prevent so far, and he also led the so-called anti-volunteer army to turn Finland upside down and force the Finnish government to make humiliating concessions, He was even able to penetrate the naval blockade of the Entente and get large quantities of grain. ”

Akimovich's voice grew louder and more unceremonious: "You have neither interest nor desire to understand this qiΔ“, you have no idea how terrible this person is. ”

Although Albert seemed to be unmoved, he was shocked by what Akimovich said, if someone was really so powerful, it was indeed worth paying attention to, but Akimovich's attitude still made him unhappy, and he decided to teach the unknown special representative what politeness was, and then discuss someone's problems.

However, Akimovich did not give him a chance to speak at all, his mouth was like a machine gun with full firepower, and he said with a click: "I also want to tell you that the Jewish uprising in KΓΆnigsberg was also planned by this man, and now, it is very likely that this devil has arrived in Germany and instigated the rebellion of the High Seas Fleet!" ”

Albert closed his mouth in astonishment, and he immediately forgot about Akimovich's impoliteness, and asked incredulously: "Are you sure!" ”

"I'm not sure of anything!" "Since the Foreign Ministry forcefully summoned me back, forcibly handled relations with Russia, and ignored my repeated warnings, I have not been able to be sure of anything!" Mr. Prime Minister, from what I know about that devil, this is all too much in line with his code of conduct! The only thing I can tell you is that this is just the beginning! ”

Albert was a little hesitant to trust Akimovich, who quickly added: "Don't think I'm alarmist, Your Excellency, who can lay mines in the Kiel Canal without knowing it?" No one else can do it but that devil! If you still don't believe me, you can consult His Excellency the Grand Duke of Baden or the Count of Hertling, and they will tell you that I am not lying! ”

Albert pondered for a moment, then resolutely picked up the phone and dialed the two former prime ministers. An hour later, when Akimovich re-entered Albert's office, the old man's no longer dared to despise him.

"Mr. Schiller, tell me your opinion on the current state of affairs!"

Akimovich glanced at the restless old man and said categorically: "We should immediately contact the Entente to deal with that devil, our strength alone is not enough!" (To be continued......)
